Hello. When you visit some flash websites a link is available to download whatever you need to view a flash website if the user doesn’t have flash. What I would like to do is for said information to automatically download while the user is viewing the page so that they dont have to click on the link to prompt the download. I want to put this information on my intro page before you enter the flash website. Is that possible and if it is could some one please hook me up with that info. Thanks a bunch.

i’ll post this whole html code. i have no shame in saying i took this from dreamweaver and havent bother to work out the code… basically it goes to flashsite.html if flash is detected and normal.html if it isnt


<html>
<head>
<title>Document sans titre</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_checkPlugin(plgIn, theURL, altURL, autoGo) { //v4.0
  var ok=false; document.MM_returnValue = false;
  with (navigator) if (appName.indexOf('Microsoft')==-1 || (plugins && plugins.length)) {
    ok=(plugins && plugins[plgIn]);
  } else if (appVersion.indexOf('3.1')==-1) { //not Netscape or Win3.1
    if (plgIn.indexOf("Flash")!=-1 && window.MM_flash!=null) ok=window.MM_flash;
    else if (plgIn.indexOf("Director")!=-1 && window.MM_dir!=null) ok=window.MM_dir;
    else ok=autoGo; }
  if (!ok) theURL=altURL; if (theURL) window.location=theURL;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

<body onLoad="MM_checkPlugin('Shockwave Flash','flashsite.html','normal.html',false);return document.MM_returnValue">
</body>
<script name="Used by MM_checkPlugin" language="javascript">
<!--
with (navigator) if (appName.indexOf('Microsoft')!=-1 && appVersion.indexOf('Mac')==-1) document.write(''+
'<scr'+'ipt language="VBScript">
On error resume next
'+
'MM_dir = IsObject(CreateObject("SWCtl.SWCtl.1"))
'+
'MM_flash = NOT IsNull(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash"))
</scr'+'ipt>');
//-->
</script>
</html>

I find the best way is to do this is with Colin Moock’s Flash Player Inspector. It really works well
